He came, he saw, he conquered. Australian rider Chris Burton piloted Nobilis 18, an 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding, to the big win at Burghley this weekend.

It was a tough cross country course, Capt. Mark Phillips’ specialty, that took many victims on a soggy Saturday. But not Chris Burton. Rather than let the course take his name, he skipped around to maintain his lead and went on to not only get a first CCI4* completion under Nobilis 18’s belt, but a big trophy to boot. Not too bad of a weekend!

Thanks to the media team behind the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, we can ride the cross country course with Chris and Nobilis 18 while watching their round simultaneously. Enjoy!
